Nuts

How's the motor running? any major/potential issue with the car (in general) and need to be fixed/repaired? Don't forget to list your usage as well, cause track-bitch or turbo-ed not consider as daily driving.

Just estimate how long with my daily driving R would last and what kinda of major things might come up in the near future.

for the record, my car is around 39K.

I put 125K miles on my ITR motor, and then someone else (sgT) put another 20K miles on it without any problems. The bottom end was then used to win a NASA H2 race in yet another ITR (#71 Warren ****).

Basicly, just keep oil in it (changed regularly by at least 5K miles) and keep up with other regular maintenance. These cars make great daily drivers.

What about Jeff and Matt's cars? (budman and D) They have a ton o miles, not sure if they have as many as Ed's yet....

That is so awesome. I had 138K on my H22 and it pulled nicely. I plan on having my 97 until 100K hopefully.

As far as unforseen mishaps, I don't feel that ITR's are more prone to problems anymore than other high-revving Honda engines. Keep it off the drag strip if you want to see 150K miles without spending a fortune. That's the beauty of the R, it's great for a daily driver (my only car ) and it handles incredibly for a front drive under 25 grand.

Opie

If I am not mistaken, BudMan is well over 100k miles

D has 120K, but just dropped a valve. not sure about Budman, but some guy in Europe has over 220,000 kilometers on his.

Batoutahell

Budman has 110,000 miles, give or take. I forget the exact number, but it's some obscene amount of miles considering how hard he flogs it around the track.

My 2000 R just hit 100k last week.

ZygSpeed

My most recent ITR (97 #151) is at 71K miles and doesn't seem to use any oil at all.
I just wonder how long I can leave it as it came from the factory!!!

scooter

98 ITR 138,000 give or take a few miles.

BudMan

It's 111,293 to be exact. Never opened the bottom end, original vavle train.

Hmmmm let's see how many reasons it shouldn't run...

- lost crank pulley bolt during Expo 2 (chasing and passing viper w/no bolt)

- AEM cam gear came completely loose while Batoutahell & I were driving down the street - BOY WHAT A NOISE THAT CAN MAKE!

- I drove it everyday in rain, sleet, snow & ice until a few months ago (beaters rule).

- ~5-6 track weekends at Heartland Park, 1 track weekend at MidAmerica Motorsports park in Omaha, 1 trip to Deal's Gap, drove at Gingerman (exblo 2), drove at BeaveRun (exblo 3), & I'm driving her out to Summit for Explode 4!

AND last but not least - I don't flog my car hard, Batoutahell just drives like a wussy hehehehe

126k actually, shredded a PE belt, and had some issues after that. we'll see if the shortblock lived in a few weeks.

Give me a call if you're in the area.

Keep it off the drag strip??? What is so strenuous for an engine to run for under 15 seconds hard? The drag strip is easy on a car if you ask me. Harsh daily driving conditions are what will turn an engine in....not a drag strip.

he means.. don't push the car to limits and it will last longer.

my 99 ITR has 104k
